Hello,
A new version of tig is available! It brings many documentation improvements, bug fixes, and some much needed updates to work better with git (e.g. by using --no-color and avoiding to use git-diff). On startup, tig will now attempt to first read a system-wide configuration file before loading the user specific configuration file. Cherry picking from inside tig has been generalized, making it possible to wire external commands, which can access information about the current commit, to a keybinding.
Among possible incompatible changes, option parsing has been changed to be more similar with gitk's by deprecating almost all tig options, so to startup in the status view use `tig status'! Building the documentation (sadly?) now depends on DocBook XSL 1.72 to reduce the number of accumulated AsciiDoc and XSL hacks.
In the pipeline for the next release are improved rename support in the status view and encoding and drawing fixes from Dominik Vogt. The deprecated options will probably also go away, including the special handling of "--".
What is tig? ------------ Tig is a ncurses-based text-mode interface for git. It functions mainly as a git repository browser, but can also act as a pager for output from various git commands.
